Tertiary studies expensive, parents told to prepare well

Minister for Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, Don Polye warned parents that higher learning is costly and parents should not rely on the government to help them every year.

In deliberating on the support provided to the education sector by the government including the Tertiary Education Student Assistance Scheme or TESAS, DHERST authorities are concerned that many parents do not prepare well to fund their children’s school fees at tertiary institutions.
